The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at 40 mph, she noticed a rat crawl from under the passenger seat, into the glove compartment and into the air conditioning unit. The sight of the rat almost caused the contact to lose control of the vehicle. The contact was able to remove the rat from the vehicle. The dealer made repairs to the rear seat and seat belts, in which the rat had chewed through. The dealer also cleaned the air conditioning unit. The contact spoke with the dealer about possibly having a wire mesh installed over the air intake to prevent any future rodents from entering the vehicle. The dealer advised that although the failure was a common occurrence in her year, make and model, he would have to get authorization from the manufacturer to perform the repair. The contact was awaiting authorization from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 11,500 and the current was unknown.

I am requesting that dot NHTSA investigate the drivers contribution to unintended acceleration (ua) and Toyotas accelerator/brake pedal designs that make it possible. I was driving a rented Toyota Camry in a parking lot. I applied the brake and instead of slowing down the vehicle began to gain speed. I pressed harder on the brake and it accelerated. The harder I tried to stop the car the faster it went. I took my foot off the brake for a moment and the vehicle stopped accelerating. I believe that my foot was on both the brake and the accelerator pedals. I measured the distance between the brake and the accelerator and found that it was only 1. 5 inches. My vehicle a gm acadia is 2. 5 inches. This made me think that the tops of the two pedals are too close together. I managed to find 6 different Toyota models including the prius and they averaged 1. 5 inches between the tops of the brake and the accelerator pedals. I measure competitive vehicles and found they averaged 2. 2 inches. Something is wrong with the Toyota designs they are too close together. I have continued to investigate unintended acceleration and have collected a significant amount of data that supports the fact that the driver is a major cause of ua and that some vehicle designs make it possible. I have conducted driving tests and simulated the conditions that cause ua. They clearly identify that Toyota pedal designs contribute to the driver being a cause of ua. Good vehicle pedal designs make it very difficult to simultaneously and unintentionally depress both pedals. From the odi incident reports gm vehicles seem to be particularly insensitive while the Ford 150 truck seems to have a large number of complaints. There must be something in the pedal designs or operation that makes this possible. I have read two older dot reports concerning ua and they indicate that the driver is a cause of ua. Why is that not studied and acknowledged now? please formally investigate.

I bought 2010 Camry couple of months ago and hear a heavy wind noise from the passenger side. I am told by Toyota rep that it is a design issue and there is nothing can be done. Both left and right sides and front of the car is identical. If it was a design issue then why noise on right side only. Not sure if something going to let loose. Can you please help addressing this problem with Toyota. Already there are numerous problems such as accelerator pedal, brakes and so forth. Thank you for your kind attention.

My complaint is that where my cruise control is at 5' o'clock steering wheel it reset is up and hit my leg causing the car to run up with out me knowing why. This has happen twice. This needs to be moved to another spot on the steering wheel. I have a 2010 Camry se. I report it to dealer they did think it was a problem.
